| Cllr. Taylor, the complaints about publicity and collection when I wrote were on the other local web sites i.e. Acton and Chiswick although there appears now to be a developing problem in Northfields. Chiswick seems to be having the worst problems as their collection was moved from Monday to the previous Saturday. I fear for my area as our collection is normally Thursday and is rescheduled for Wednesday. The experience of other areas is that 50-75% of bags will be put out on the wrong day. You are clearly spending a lot on publicity and it is not working. This appears to have been acknowledged as there seem to be collections taking place on the normal days to take into account most people were unaware of the changes. A different strategy seems to be in order. Two would come to mind - firstly don't spend anything at all on publicity and put the saved cash into extra collections; secondly spend the money more effectively although apart from the blindingly obvious measure of putting the information on these web sites and others like WEN I can't suggest anything else that might work. |
